Hi All,

I am a semi-casual player, i usually play low-budget build due to limited available time to play and i like playing non-meta builds.

For Phrecia, after a dull start, i wanted to try the Puppeteer and its Zombies. The biggest issue is the Zombie being corpse, and having them be detonated by enemies.

To me the solution was to make them explode before enemies could do the same ! After some experiments with other skills, i settled with Bodyswap of Sacrifice.

Here you can see a showcase of some mapping and boss kills, including some dumb deaths: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-uCUav2QaE

This is the PoB used in the video, very far from being optimized: https://pobb.in/cJwmTErwj0e5

The build uses Poet's Pen to trigger Bodyswap of Sacrifice, and a spellslinger setup to summon the Zombies.

Power siphon is the attack used to trigger both. It's kind of a working meme build, with a limited scaling.

Something similar is done with spectres, so its not so much of an original idea. But it was fun to make it work with Zombies.

Power siphon has 150% attack speed, with makes it easier to reach the attack speed needed for the second poet's pen breakpoint, at 27% cooldown recovery.

The amulet provides frenzy charge on kill, so i have to be careful with the attack speed. During mapping most of the time i'am at 3 frenzies and a 5.02 trigger rate.

While bossing it drops to 4.8, but its not a deal breaker.

Also, Poet's pen CD and Spesslinger are not well aligned: Spellslinger is much slower (but not half the speed, that would probably be optimal), so i used spell echo to summon two zombies. It's very possible its not working as intended. With poet's pen i got two zombies but with spellslinger it looks like its not working.

This may also explain why some many time it "slows down" the cast rate.

I could try to solve it with two spellslinger setups instead of one, but for me the league its at the end, maybe next event i will try to improve it.

Offensively the main scaling is Zombie life, in my setup they have 250k maximum life.

Defensively, the build is an hybrid life/ef with estimated 100k EHP, 76% block and spell block, life on hit with power siphon, es leech (but no instant leech) and some life regen.

For the build i spent about 10/15 divines.

I didnt try it in T17 or any really hard content.

Despte the flaws, i hope you find it enjoable :)
